Hi Mari!

When you are finished creating your element merge all of the layers down until you only have the background and the element layers.

Then delete the background layer by right clicking on your the layer in your layer pallette.

Save your element as a .png so that the background doesn't come back later. The PNG keeps the background transparent. Good luck!
