When is a STAG like and ANGEL? When it's a Die.
WHILST MAKING UP A STAGS HEAD FROM A NUMBER OF DIES
I NOTICED ANOTHER FIGURE FORMING FROM THE SHAPES
THAT WERE LEFT OVER.
Whilst cutting the antler head section and back plate section I thought
''Ooh wings!''
After playing around with the stag die...
(XCUT stags head die from Do crafts)

...I managed to create an angel.
The wings and skirt were made from the antler head die
The bodice section once trimmed as shown was created from the back plate die.

The head was from one of the smaller stag head dies and the neck section trimmed later.
By cutting the back plate out around the neck you can use the surplus piece as a halo.
Using a different stag head section you can have longer hair.
Or you can add an extra skirt in another colour or material.
From this you can embellish and enhance the angel as much or as little as you like.
I hope this makes you look at other dies in your stash, Punches too as by thinking out of the box can make your purchases of these kind of items more of a bargain when you can get more from them.

You're only limited by your imagination.
Cool use of the stag die there. I bought the 3d star die but it wouldn't cut kraft card very well. Very disappointing :-(
