How to make fake stained glass look better?

I have 2 14" x 39" glass that sits between two rooms. One side has black tape, obscure stick ons, and very pale pink roses. There are 2 roses to each piece of glass. What can I do to make these look more like stained glass. The glass is thin, it could be taken out if needed.
I'm thinking paint could really make that rose and its surroundings pop. Here's the recipe for the types of paint most people use on glass as well as a tutorial: https://thewhoot.com/whoot-news/crafty-corner/faux-stained-glass
I would touch it up with glass paint.
Hi Jamie, you could easily paint the glass to give it a completely new look. You could even leave it in place and paint both sides. Most of the home decor paints would beautiful on glass (Annie Sloan, fusion, Country Chic etc...).
This site is aimed at kids painting stained glass but the basic idea is the same adding some color to what you have would make a big difference.

Hello there,
Use Nail Varnish if you can't get Glass paints or even Mod podge with Food Colouring would do the trick!
Here's some instructions:

Hi Jamie. I'm Cindy. If the black lines in the roses are raised up higher than the sections with colors, you could use acrylic paint over the sections you want to enhance. You might have to lay the whole piece of glass down flat. That would mean taking it down. Good luck Jamie.
Add color to the leaves. You can paint it in and it would look more authentic.
I agree, paint would help, but I'm confused. Are the roses stickers? If they are paint not might adhere. You might only be able to paint the exposed glass between the black tape.

I would definitely go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and get glass paint. I think glass paint will look much better than acrylic.
I would paint the areas in with some glass paint.
Very nice! Look at this site for glass paint ideas.
