Try Gideros SVG Level Builder, it lets you create a level as a vector SVG and then imports it into Gideros and places on the screen

Unless you want to ship the level editor as part of your game then I'd suggest using Tiled (www.mapeditor.org) as your editor, it can export lua tables and you can use the extra layers / objects to add the "elements" to your game.

There are a few examples on the forum of code to read in "Tiled" export files.

What functionality should this level editor have? Should it be build into your game or external? Should it work only for this game or be more a general tool?
