Reusable style prompt for Die-Cut Sticker Illustration
Condense the source subject and only its essential setting into ONE cohesive die-cut sticker illustration. Keep recognizable pose, silhouettes and source color relationships, simplified into clean flat colors and soft economical contours. Surround the complete designed silhouette with a clearly visible continuous thick white sticker margin, then a very thin paper side edge. Place this single sticker on plain pale paper with a tiny soft contact shadow and blank space around every side. For scenery, make one unified shaped scene sticker rather than many loose icons. Avoid enamel, metal rims, glossy domed resin, thick badges, a whole sticker sheet, extra decorations, captions, brand names or a photographic background.Use the same style prompt for portraits, landscapes and objects.
