Paper-Cut Cute Character Art

Transform this image into a soft paper-cut layered illustration style, inspired by the aesthetics of paper landscape art. Use smooth circles, simplified cute character proportions, and minimalist facial details, but include delicate expressions (dotted or bold line eyes, blushing cheeks), and present expressive expressions based on reference images to create a warm and charming look. Apply stacked paper layers with visible depth, subtle shadows between layers, and neat cutting edges similar to laser-cut cardstock. Only the main characters appearing in the image are retained, and the rest are removed. A distinct white outer outline layer is added around the protagonist, similar to a thick sticker border or a white paper-cut backing, clearly separating the character from the background. This white layer should feel like a deliberate layer of paper, not a glowing effect. Use soft tones, including subtle blues, greens, and warm neutrals, to maintain balance and calm. The light should be soft, diffuse, and even, enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the paper layers without strong contrast. The texture should have a matte and tactile feel, such as thick art paper or craft foam. Overall atmosphere: comfortable, healthy, gentle, and fairy-tale-like, with a playful and refined handicraft feel, suitable for modern illustration, children's books, or decorative arts.
