I knew I should have saved it 🙂

Never mind, I quickly remade it and have attached the sbs file to this post.

Play with the Levels mid grey setting, the Blend opacity setting and the Tile Sampler Mask Map Threshold. All three interact.

You could use the Mask Map input on the tile sampler and under Colour set the Mask Map Threshold. I've just used a couple of simple shapes below to demonstrate but hopefully that will get you started.
