Final Tile

For my initial stamp I decided to do AP diagonal but still connected. I made it so that it would imprint into the clay instead of stick out. For my tiles I decided to make a mountain theme, I did mountains because I thought that they could fit together well and look nice. In my tile there is four layers the sky is one layer, tha back two mountains is another layer, the front mountains is another layer, and the snow on top of the mountains is a separate layer. When I was sketching out my design I wanted my mountains to be able to fit together going left to right and also in a square, which is what the lines are for on the front mountains. I wanted to put snow caps on the mountains because I think it gives it more dimension and looks nicer instead of just a plain brown mountain. For the colors of my tile I did light blue(SM-26), clear satin(SM-10), and for the mountains I mixed Sky(C-21) and Iron(C-36) to make a brownish green sort of color. I think my final product came out good to me it feels a little simple but I also like it just being the mountains.
