Can't see element

[pubmother]

Guys,
I am in the process of assembling a cut out character in TB and have hit a problem that has me stumped.

I have imported a picture to use as the body of the character. I've drawn a belt over this as a separate element but can't seem to get it to be displayed over the body. I can see it if I select it but not with the light table. In fact the opacity of the imported image blocks everything.
I need the belt to be a separate layer as the character will carry a dagger.
I've had this less than a week and am starting to find my way, I wondered if you could help me.

Regards,
Pedro
P.S. it seems to be the same with imported textures as well.
