I want to make a tinted or colored monochrome like what is painted on
Delft or Wedgwood china. Dark areas should be shades of blue, lighter
backgrounds approaching white.

When I try things I keep ending up with black on shades of light blue,
or else dark blue details on black.

I have PSP, PS Elements, and access to PS. Any suggestions? I assume I
need to create some sort of mask layer, but so far have not found the
right technique.

Image > mode > duotone
(maybe need to go grayscale first, I forget)

How about this; with the greyscale in RGB mode, open the Levels tool, and
set the output blackpoint for the green channel to about 41, and the output
blackpoint for the blue channel to about 100. Then, apply an overall tone
curve with the Levels' RGB channel or some other way.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Apparently, from your address, you are in the US. The February 2009
issue of Shutterbug has an article on this very subject. You might check
it out. Incidentally, the Feb issue will disappear from the racks very
early in the month, to be replaced with the March issue.
