SVU Mini Marathon and Crepe Paper Flowers

I LOVE to watch Law and Order SVU and tonight was a mini marathon night, so I was glued to the tv.  I decided to try something different while watching the shows.  My first 4 or 5 flowers were not floral looking at all and I tossed them into the trash right after my son said "umm, what are they, I hope not flowers"  That was enough to toss, LOL  I had a horrible time with the glue.  It was soaking my crepe paper and destroying it.  So, I decided to try something different.  I used a glue stick to form the petals and my Glossy Accents to glue the petals to the circle form.  I made a hot mess with the glitter glue and the glitter around the edges so I think if I try it again I will use my Zig Mini Glue Pen. It doesn't put out enough glue to soak the crepe paper and it is a thin line so the glitter will come out much nicer!  But, Here is my first completed flower that actually resembles a flower.  With all the glitter and white crepe paper, it is almost hard to tell the difference in the petals!  I wonder if I ink the edges before shaping if that will help?  *Hugs*
