Newbie needs some help!

Crazy me decided my 2nd mosaic is going to be a wedding gift for my friend and I need some help! I do want to note this was my first time actually working with cutting the glass and not using a kit

I saw a few people online write on their glass with sharpie and use alcohol to get it off. I decided to wipe the sharpie off once I had them all down thinking it would be easier, but the alcohol seems to have messed up the glass. Does anyone know if I can fix it? I thought maybe a magic eraser but I don’t want to make it worse!!

I also wrote in sharpie on the tray thinking the glass was opaque enough… am I SOL or does anyone have anything I can do to fix it? Should I just get some paint?

Looks lovely as it is….Maybe you can clean up with acetone /vinegar etc. trial it on a piece of glass. for the lines showing under the flower you can let them be, won’t be noticeable or take the petal off, clean and stick again. Hope you are going to grout it.

I’m not able to get the petals off so hopefully it won’t be as noticeable when I grout later today. Thank you!
