An Adventure Awaits nursery filled with this whimsical mountain themed printables set will bring an element of delight to your decor. This modern nursery art can inspire stories of adventure. Who climbed these mountains? What dangers did they face? You and your child get to imagine these tales together.
If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that whimsical is a great descriptive word for my art.
{This Adventure Awaits Printable would be super cute for a baby shower, too.}
Since we live in Colorado, a common theme in our home is often “adventure awaits”. So it’s only natural for me to design a nursery or toddler printable to capture this awesome vibe.
The Rockies are my woodland inspiration. The mountains here really do have “purple mountain majesty” so I brought that feel to this sweet piece.
Personalizing Your ‘Adventure Awaits’ Nursery
As always, I design my artistic digital downloads to be as functional as they are beautiful. These lovely mountains can be framed and hung as is, or you can work with them as a set and hang them with your own Little Adventurer’s photography.
Kids’ woodland mountain decor can create a super-cozy space. And printables are fantastic because you can customize the artwork to do what works best for your specific setting.
Your hand painted nursery wall art…your way
The amazing amount of possibilities here is what sets downloadable art apart. You can use digital printable artwork in your own way. Here are a few quick ideas to encourage your creative juices.
- Print the artwork on a piece of cloth and then frame. The texture will give a whole different feel to your project. Just remember to check what background your digital file has. You’ll want it to be transparent so the background color doesn’t compete with your fabric.
- Print your digital file on paper banners and hang.
- Mix your digital artwork with framed text. Use a favorite quote or print out your child’s favorite phrase.
- A collage of your child’s favorite activities would work great next to an Adventure Awaits printable.
- Crop the artwork creatively. This takes a bit more technical knowledge – however only a bit more! Experiment with your file using photo manipulation software such as Photoshop or Gimp (what I use) or try an online tool such as Canva. You can explore all sorts of creative moves and still reset back to the original digital file (be sure and work on copies only!).
- Make and display construction paper mountains alongside these printables.
- Pop this digital file into a woodland baby shower invite
- Think in terms of encouragement, comfort, or teaching, as well as beautifying your home. Any artwork’s true joy lies in the strength it brings to your home through these qualities.
Creative Tip:
Print out a draft copy of each piece of your printable artwork, then pin in place on your wall, trying out a variety of ideas until you’re satisfied. Go for it!
Watercolor is such a versatile medium. Not only is it perfect for all kinds of nursery artwork, but I love combining it with my hand drawn letters for a super-customized look. Interested in seeing more? Then take a look at my hand made lettering page for lots of ideas.
