Turn the photo into a layered paper-cut artwork

A reference image is required. Preserve the subjects’ positions and poses, and recreate the scene with thick white paper edges, pastel cardstock, and shadows between layers to create a handmade dimensional paper-art effect.

Prompt

Please upload a reference image before generating.

Main prompt
Transform the uploaded image into a soft handmade layered paper-cut illustration while preserving the original composition, subject positions, poses, proportions, perspective, and recognizable features.

Format lock
Vertical 3:4 composition. Preserve the original framing, camera angle, crop, and overall visual hierarchy.

Style
Soft dimensional paper-art model aesthetic, with smooth rounded shapes, simplified cute proportions, minimal facial details, dot eyes, soft blushing cheeks, and warm storybook character design. Recreate the entire scene using stacked paper layers, with visible dimensional depth, subtle shadows between layers, and clean cut edges resembling carefully crafted cardstock.

Character design
Keep the main characters recognizable while simplifying their forms into charming paper-cut figures. Add a clearly visible thick white outer paper layer around each main character, creating a clean sticker-like paper-cut border that physically separates them from the background. The white border must look like an intentional cardstock layer, not a glow or lighting effect.

Paper material
Use matte tactile materials resembling thick art paper or craft foam. Show subtle paper texture, layered edges, slight thickness, clean cuts, tiny handmade imperfections, and realistic contact shadows between overlapping layers.

Color palette
Soft pastel colors with gentle blues, mild greens, warm neutrals, cream tones, and subtle complementary accents. Keep the palette balanced, calm, comfortable, and harmonious.

Lighting
Soft, diffused, even lighting. Gentle ambient illumination. Subtle layer shadows. No harsh contrast. Enhance the physical depth of the paper layers while maintaining a soft handmade atmosphere.

Composition
Preserve the original scene structure and visual hierarchy. Keep characters, objects, and important environmental elements in their original positions while converting everything into the same paper-cut visual language. Maintain clear separation between foreground, middle ground, and background.

Output style
Cozy handmade dimensional paper art. Modern children’s picture-book illustration. Decorative paper-cut artwork. Warm storybook aesthetic. Wholesome, gentle, playful, refined, tactile, and premium.

Negative prompt
Avoid photorealism, CGI, glossy surfaces, plastic appearance, neon colors, harsh lighting, excessive detail, realistic facial rendering, floating characters, glowing white outlines, flat digital illustration, messy edges, excessive shadows, distorted anatomy, changed composition, text, logos, watermarks, or low-quality rendering.

How to use

The source artwork turns the traveling figures and the Earth landscape behind them into layered paper art, with distinct white paper edges around the figures.
