Layered Paper-Cut Character Illustration

Convert this image into a soft, handcrafted paper-cut layered illustration style, inspired by papercraft diorama aesthetics. Use smooth rounded shapes, simplified cute character proportions, and minimal facial details (dot eyes, blush cheeks) to create a warm, charming look. Apply stacked paper layers with visible depth, subtle shadows between layers, and clean cut edges that resemble laser-cut cardstock ++Add a distinct white outer outline layer surrounding each main character, resembling a thick sticker border or white cut-paper backing, clearly separating the characters from the background. This white layer should feel like an intentional paper layer, not a glow. Use a pastel color palette with muted blues, greens, and warm neutrals, balanced and calming. Lighting should feel soft, diffused, and even, enhancing the dimensional paper layers without harsh contrast. ++++ Textures should appear matte and tactile, like thick art paper or craft foam. Overall mood: cozy, wholesome, gentle, and storybook-like, with a playful yet polished handcrafted feel suitable for modern illustration, children’s books, or decorative art.
