Rubylith is a red film used in graphics application, among others. It was and still is used as a mask ( for B+W ... I do not know about color).
If you buy some rubylith ( thin plastic, comes on a roll) and cut out your desired size, and internal size, this would work and provide sharp edges. Holding it down using some less than all powerful magnets would work, but a top mask of cardboard and then the magnets would work even better.
Someone suggested a magnetized sign ( like realtors use on the sides of their BMWs...) this sounds to me like a good suggestion.... Getting them 
cut to a precise size may be more challenging.

You may be able to find suitable magnets at an office supply place. They are also known as refrigerator magnets because they are used to hold notes to the front of a refrigerator. These come in small squares or circles or in fairly long strips. I have had some success making printing masks from plain black "kraft" paper, AKA construction paper. Try art supply stores for this. It is available in fairly heavy gauge. You can cut it using an Exacto knife or make two L sections for a universal mask.
