Layered Papercraft Diorama Illustration Transformation

Transform the reference photo into a soft, handcrafted paper-cut layered illustration, precisely preserving the original composition, subject placement, poses, proportions, perspective, and visual hierarchy. Style & Materials: Cozy papercraft diorama aesthetic made of stacked matte cardstock layers. Features tactile paper grain, slight cardstock thickness, clean-cut edges, subtle handmade textures, and realistic contact drop shadows between overlapping physical layers. Character Design: Simplify main subjects into charming storybook paper figures with minimal features, tiny dot eyes, and soft blush cheeks. Encase each main subject in a distinct, thick white cardstock outer border—like a clean sticker cut—physically separating them from the background layers without glowing or lighting effects. Color & Lighting: Soothing pastel palette dominated by muted blues, soft sage greens, cream, and warm neutrals. Evenly diffused, gentle ambient lighting emphasizing the physical layered depth without harsh contrasts or specular highlights.
