I want to put images of starfish on denim sofa cushions. What technique should I use--stamping, printing, stencil, etc.--I might want to use actual starfish. What type of paint would be best? I'm including a photo of the type of effect I'm aiming for.

All of those techniques would work.
It's best to use a fabric paint or acrylics with a fabric medium mixed in.
