Paper-Cut Layered Pet Portrait

Every paper-cut layered portrait starts with the photo you provide. I recreate your pet using layered cut-out shapes
that mimic real paper craft, giving the artwork gentle depth, texture, and a clean “handmade” finish.

This style is especially popular for pet memorial portraits because it feels soft, calm, and heartfelt.
If you’d like, I can include your pet’s name and memorial dates subtly within the design,
keeping everything tasteful and balanced.

You’ll receive a high-resolution digital file (no physical print included), so you can print it wherever
you like — at home, via an online printer, or at a local print shop. A4 and A3 are the most popular sizes,
and larger sizes are available by request.
