Posting an image on top of another without losing background image

Hi, How do I paste in Pages without losing background image? Ex: I want to paste an image on top of another but would like both images to blend together. (posting lines on the image of a stamp to create a used postcard). Thank you!

Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4

The part of the curvy lines image between the lines must be transparent.


If you have an image of these lines on a solid colour background, then:


Select the image.


Go Format (menu) > Instant Alpha


Click on the background colour.


Here's an example.

One copy of the curvey line image has had instant Alpha applied, the other is in its original state. The green bar is placed behind both of these images.


Regards,

Barry
