Create:
1. A finished paper cut art prompt.
2. A simple three-layer version and a detailed multi-layer version.
3. A layer-by-layer construction map from back to front.
4. A negative prompt for glossy plastic, melted edges, impossible floating scraps, muddy shadows, gradients, and fake text.
5. Notes on paper fiber, cut edges, layer spacing, shadow direction, and color separation.
6. A feasibility checklist for rebuilding the concept by hand or with a cutting machine.

Treat the generated image as a concept. Keep every layer connected and large enough to construct if physical production is requested.
