The petals on my flower implosions used to be very unclear. So I stopped using semi-transparent colors and now only use the opaques. Then I started making my lines for the petals much thinner (I started pulling thinner stringers to make the lines that will become the petals). Now my petals come out very sharp, but I'm still having problems getting all of the petals to be real close to the same size. And the 'pull' to get the cone is giving me problems But I LOVE the multicolored petals in red, green and orange in your marble. I just made a flower using yellow crayon for the stamens, red crayon for the petals and Northstar evergreen for the green stuff under the petals - it's a dynamite combination. Caramel also works real good for petals-it gives you a faint blueish haze around the edges of the petals.
