I am so excited that Stacy went with the site that I sent to her and thrilled to guest design for the challenge. Here is the beautiful inspiration dress that I chose. I loved the gorgeous blues and I set out to create a soft image piece with a fabric feel by using the direct to paper technique to mimic the striped look. I started with the lighter blues then added the darker. I ended by swiping the craft inks over the top which blurred the lines/distinctions quite a bit. I rounded the corners and layered over a vertical strip of Indigo also with rounded corners. I used 3 colors of twine along with threads from pulling apart denim (can't remember when or why I did that but I kept the threads in my stash). I stamped my sentiment and punched with an oval punch then layered that over a scalloped oval in Navy.

Well I think you certainly accomplished what you set out to do. This does indeed look just like the fabric in that dress! The denim threads are the perfect embellishment for it! Awesome!
