In any of these situations where you want to show part of a bitmap image in
front of, and another part in back of parts of a vector drawing, it is
easiest to first use Photoshop to isolate the parts you want in front of the
vector drawing and layer them on top of it. For parts that you want in front
of your vector drawing, select them from the bitmap, (use pen tool, create a
path, drag the path in the path tab down to the selection button, (to make
it a selection) and delete the rest). What you will be left with is just the
parts the you want in front. Make sure the background of the rest is empty
and save as a gif with transparency. Now import the gif and the original
bitmap and the layer everything m as follows in illustrator: on the bottom
layer, the original bitmap you want, then in the middle layer, your vector
drawing, and then on the top layer, the gif with the parts of the bitmap you
want in front. Works like a charm.

I am not sure if the subject correctly identifies what I am trying to
do...but here it goes:
I created the image linked below in Photoshop with some random images I
found on the web. I now need to create something similar, but in
Illustrator. (i.e. I need to create the effect of santa coming through the
canvas). How do I do this? Are there templates somewhere that I can
download? I'd rather not trace it by hand and I have had limited success
with Streamline. Any other suggestions?
