Keepsake Teddy Christmas Card

Create an original premium Christmas holiday card illustration with a warm nostalgic storybook-meets-photoreal aesthetic. Scene: Show a cozy Christmas memory scene centered on an old teddy bear sitting inside an open keepsake box. The teddy bear should look well loved, with slightly worn fur, subtle stitching repairs, and a gentle expressive presence. Place the box near a window, with soft snowfall visible outside. Add a few quiet surrounding details that suggest the child has grown up but the memories remain, such as a folded old ribbon, a handwritten note, a small ornament, or a faded childhood item nearby. Keep the scene intimate and uncluttered. Mood: Warm, nostalgic, tender, emotional, comforting, quietly magical. Lighting: Soft cinematic Christmas lighting with a warm indoor glow and cool winter light from the window. Add subtle festive bokeh lights in the background. Use gentle contrast, delicate shadows, and a calm evening atmosphere. Style: High-end holiday card artwork, realistic textures, shallow depth of field, tasteful composition, elegant print-quality finish, refined seasonal color grading. The result should feel premium, timeless, and suitable for a professionally printed Christmas card. Color palette: Warm cream, soft brown, muted red, evergreen, gold accents, and cool snowy blue from the window. Composition: Vertical or standard greeting-card composition with clear visual hierarchy. Keep the teddy bear and keepsake box as the emotional focal point. Leave clean space for the greeting text to be easily readable. Text: Include only this exact card text, clearly rendered and elegantly integrated into the design: "Merry Christmas — some memories never fade." Text rules: Do not add any other words, captions, signatures, greetings, logos, trademarks, or watermarks. Constraints: - original artwork only - no trademarks - no logos - no watermarks - no extra text - no clutter - no obvious AI artifacts A beautiful emotional Christmas card image that feels heartfelt, nostalgic, and timeless, with the teddy bear memory theme as the central story.
