Jungle Safari Shaker

Jungle Safari Shaker

Hi friends I don't know how many of you love Safaris. Well I just love going into the forest....the anticipation of seeing an exotic bird or elusive animal and the sheer thrill on spotting one is unparalleled!
Just like in the jungle...this shaker decor piece has many hidden treasures . I propped up the shaker on 2 layers of circular foam diecuts and added it to a larger circular base made with several layers of card stock and  glitter foam.

2 little birdies nest behind the front shaker panel amidst the swaying coconut trees!{coconut trees are fancy buttons!} I tucked in the  little birdies in the space between the base and the images on the front of the  shaker so that they are not seen from the front but only from the sides or top!

Loved  using the sentiment "Make Life  a grand Safari Adventure" as a theme for this project. It is such a perfect sentiment...Life should indeed be filled with anticipation, hope and joy!

I placed the fussy cut exotic bird in such a way that they are feasting on scrumptious wild fruit!

Added shiny ruby red ladybirds to keep the avian folk company. Graphic 45 papers have the  most gorgeous leaves and flowers which are perfect to make a tropical jungle.

Added  colourful fruit slices and flower sequins inside the shaker .

And here my safari ends  with a view of all the exotic flora and fauna and the shaker flowers, beads and fruits.

Shaker Decoration
I took 3 days to make this project. What started off as a simple shaker ornament  kept evolving as I went on adding just one more thing!!
I hope you enjoyed seeing this project as much as I enjoyed showing it to you.

  3. No sure if I lost that comment or it posted half done. Had said best we get on a safari here are a few Deer and an Otter if you are lucky, there again we regularly get Deer in the garden and even captured a Badger on the night camera a few weeks ago. Been luck to see more exotic on holidays and always a joy to see.

    Love the bright and bold colours and the animal elements.
