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.

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

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Faith...I seem to have found my mojo again ans am once again happy crafting after ages
DeleteNo 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.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright and bold colours and the animal elements.
