    An alternative to fabric painting would be embroidery. Simple french knots in the center would make for a nice dimensional element, then use a darker yellow for stitching the flower to its background.

    Fabric crayons, fabric pens, I have even used sharpies to make a fabric " just right". You could color it with regular crayons, then iron it with paper over and under until no more wax comes off.
