✨ Create All-Year Art: Three Seasonal Stencil Projects to Brighten Your Home
Seasonal Stencil Magic: Winter, Spring & Summer Canvas Trio
There’s something extra special about creating artwork you can enjoy through every season of the year. ❄️🌸🌞 In this tutorial, we’re joined by Tammy Muto of Cheers to Creativity (Facebook), who shares her signature soft-color style and clever layering techniques to build three beautiful seasonal panels—Winter, Spring, and Summer. Each board starts with the same painted base, then transforms with stenciling and rub-on transfers into its own charming scene.
Get ready for a fun, colorful project you can display individually or as a full seasonal trio!
