This butterfly is my first try I made with mylar (Thanks Carla).
I embroidered the first layer/colour of the FSL design normal.Before the second colour I added the opal mylar.
After finishing before the last color - the hearts, I added on the wings again mylar, the small left pieces I had from removal.
The colour here are only red and vanille. Through the mylar it became multicolor
I used Rayon thread and only one layer ws stabilizer, on top and down the same thread.
At least - I love beading so much - I added two black rainbow glimmer glasbeads for eyes. I fasten a needle at the back with few stitches and put it on my new handbag, it's tone in tone, the photos make more colour difference than my eyes.
Through the needle I can put it where I want it and remove easily.
Simular designs you can find at the site of lianestitch - a german site, she has great FSL design, all free.
Hope you like this

Thanks!
It's only to know not to add the Mylar like stabilizer before the beginning of embroidery but between the colors when you change the thread
Good luck, it's funny!
