Animal Canvas to go with Jungle Luv crib bedding

My toddler has the Jungle Luv crib bedding by Lambs and Ivy. We recently moved and her new room is much larger then the old nursery.. so it was time for some wall art! I decided to make my own canvas art to fit in the space below her name-wall letters.

Pulling ideas from the bedding, I decided to make an elephant, rhino and giraffe stack. We also have a butterfly mobile hanging over her changing table as well as some butterflies on her drapes, so I decided to incorporate that in as well.

I originally wanted to use round canvases and put one animal per canvas, but I couldn't find round ones. I did find the oval canvas and decided to stack the elephant and the giraffe (2 of her favorite animals!) but it looked like something was missing.. so I decided to add an animal and thought the rhino from her bedding would fit right in (I wanted the animals to be somewhat proportionate in size and the zebra made it too tall).

Oval canvas + green spray paint + scrapbook paper cutouts of the animals + Modge Podge =

The wall letters I made while I was still pregnant with her. I bought wood letters from JoAnn's and used acrylic paint to paint them myself. Super easy and inexpensive.
