Why Is my div going under another element when I give It a negative margin

So I have a div (.section-page-layout) with a margin of (margin-top:-200px) and the div (.section-page-layout) is going under the div (.section-page-header) where it should be going over it. I uploaded the code to a demo link where you can fiew it with Firebug or whatnot. I have also included my code.

Thanks in advance!

CSS CODE

/* Header */
.section-page-header {
    background: url("../img/frontcover.jpg") no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    width: auto;
    height: auto;
    min-height: 727px;
    min-width: 1280px;
}
.section-page-header-title_container {
    width: 1280px;
    position: relative;
    margin: 0 auto;
}
.section-page-header-title {
    margin-top: 83px;
    border-top: 7px #5b461c solid;
    width: 1170px;
    float: left;
    height: 167px;
    background: #000000;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 50px 0px;
    border-radius: 0px 0px 50px 0px;
    /* IE 8 */
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=90)";
    /* IE 5-7 */
    filter: alpha(opacity=90);
    /* Gecko */
    -moz-opacity: 0.9;
    /* Safari 1.x */
    -khtml-opacity: 0.9;
    /* CSS3 */
    opacity: 0.9;
}
.section-page-header-title h1 {

    margin-left: 147px;
    margin-top: 46px;
    font-size: 50px;

    text-transform: uppercase;
}
.section-page-header-title p {
    margin-top: 12px;
    margin-left: 147px;
    font-family: 'junctionregularRegular';
    color: #ff9900;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}
.section-page-layout-container {
    background:#984B09;
    background: url('../img/section-page-oj_gradient-background.png') repeat-y;
    background-size:contain;
    width: 100%;

    background: #FFFFFF;
    float: left;
}

If you have overflow:hidden on a parent element then when you move the child outside of the parent it will be hidden.
