Transform an image into a soft, handcrafted paper-cut illustration inspired by papercraft diorama styles. Use smooth, rounded shapes and simplified, cute character proportions, with minimal facial features such as dot eyes and subtle blush to create a warm and charming appearance. Incorporate layered paper elements with clear depth, gentle shadows between layers, and crisp edges that resemble precisely cut cardstock. Add a prominent white outer outline around each main character, designed like a thick sticker border or a white backing layer, ensuring the characters stand out distinctly from the background. This outline should feel like a deliberate paper layer rather than a glow effect. Apply a pastel color palette with muted blues, greens, and soft warm neutrals for a calm and balanced look. Use soft, diffused lighting to highlight the layered depth without creating harsh contrast. The textures should appear matte and tactile, similar to thick art paper or craft foam. Overall, the composition should feel cozy, wholesome, and gentle, with a storybook-like charm and a polished handcrafted aesthetic suitable for modern illustrations, children’s books, or decorative artwork. Maintain an aspect ratio of 9:16.
