I duplicate the layer so I can move around a second rectangle:
If in your duplicate there is also the background, it's a kind of normal,
now if you create a new layer and draw your rectangle on it, when you will move it, the background will not move, only the layer with the rectangle.
also what do you call "element"?
an image with the layer dialog would be nice
To upload an image it's 500 KB big max, reduce your image below 500 Kb and upload it or upload it to imgur and give us the link

- a selection?
- a path?
- a draw?
