A [subject] crafted from layered hand-cut paper, with intricate folds and depth. Each layer reveals a different [color1] and [color2] tone, creating a 3D effect. Set inside a shadow box with soft directional lighting and a storytelling composition.

How to use it

Replace the subject with any character, animal or object you want to see in paper, and pick two colours that contrast well, such as deep teal and warm coral. Keep the phrases about layered folds, depth and soft directional lighting, since they create the sense of relief and the framed box feel. The finished piece suits a wall print, a card or a social post about a craft project.
