Desert mesa with rock layers, as a solid black shape
Desert mesa with rock layers. The preview is the SVG file itself.

One broad mesa: a flat cap of cliff marked with broken lines of strata, gullies cut down the scree below it and a saguaro at its foot. The lines stop short of the edges, so the rock stays whole.

This shape is also a part in the shadow box scene maker, where you can stand it in a layered scene and download the sheets.

Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.
