Is an AlphaMaskFilter correct in this case? - createjs

Question

I am trying to use an alppha mask filter to apply a texture to a canvas element but cannot seem to get things to work. I have a base image which is a flat white color and to which I want to apply a color filter at runtime based on a users selection for example:
bitmap = new createjs.Bitmap(image);
bitmap.filters = [
new createjs.ColorFilter(0,0, 0.5, 1, 0, 0, 120, 0)
];
bitmap.cache(0, 0, 500, 500, 2);
I then want to use a second image which is a texture png that will add various shading texture to that first one. Looking over the docs it would seem that I need to use an AlphaMaskFilter but that does not seem to work and nothing is rendered onto the canvas. For example:
//filterImage contains the transparent image which has a shaded texture
var bitmap2 = new createjs.Bitmap(filterImage);
bitmap2.cache(0, 0, 500, 500, 2);
var bitmap = new createjs.Bitmap(image);
bitmap.filters = [
new createjs.ColorFilter(0,0, 0.5, 1, 0, 0, 120, 0),
new createjs.AlphaMaskFilter(bitmap2.cacheCanvas)
];
bitmap.cache(0, 0, 500, 500, 2);
Can someone help point me in the right direction here or if I am trying to do something which is just not possible using that filter.
