I am trying to get the pink checker pattern to go on top of the red shapes. I have been trtried using the minus front, minus back, etc. I tried to do a clipping mask, but I might not be doing it right. Please help!

Does your flower decal have a transparent background? You won't be able to do what you want if "Layer 2" has a solid white background with the flower design.– AndrewHFeb 23, 2015 at 20:33

No it doesn't. How do I go about doing that?– helpFeb 23, 2015 at 20:35

1Select Layer 2, use the magic wand tool and select the red/pink part. Go to selection -> similar. This will select similar colors in the decal, make a new layer and fill the selection with the color you want. Make a clipping mask of the new layer decal with the pattern above that layer.– AndrewHFeb 23, 2015 at 20:45

Select the red shapes.. choose Object > Compound Path > Make
Move the red shapes above the checkers on the same layer.
Select the red and the checkers and choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make
That should do it.
An easier solution would be to make a pattern swatch of the checkers, then just fill the red shapes with the pattern.

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much! If I want to make this again, how would I go about making a pattern swatch of the checkers?– helpFeb 23, 2015 at 20:38

While a bit more complex THIS QUESTION (click me) covers a checkered pattern creation in Illustrator, @help– ScottFeb 23, 2015 at 21:46
