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, but detailed expressions (dot or thick line eyes, blush cheeks), expressive expressions as per the reference image, 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. Keep only the main character seen in the image and remove the rest.
Add a distinct white outer outline layer surrounding the main character, resembling a thick sticker border or white cut-paper backing, clearly separating the character 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.
