Red face Does my Tilda have a defect?

:confused: This is a photo of Tilda Picking Lilacs stamp that I stamped and colored yesterday. After I finished I noticed that there is a dot where her mouth would be. I don't see this dot on any photos of this stamp on the internet. It's not a stray mark either, I checked the stamp and there is clearly a dot at that location on the stamp. Does it look strange? And if so I'm not sure what I could do about it. I've had this stamp for a few months and never noticed before. I just thought it was weird.:o What do you think? Defect or this is the way it is supposed to be?

Your coloring is beautiful!

You can always snip it off with scissors if you don't like it.. I've "modified" a stamp or two this way, I'm not gonna lie ...

I just checked my stamp and it doesn't have a dot in that spot so I would have to say that it is a defect in your stamp. I agree with Lydia, I would just cut the dot off of the stamp if you don't like it there.

I've never altered a stamp before but I went ahead and snipped it. She's fixed! Thanks for the advice.

I have a funny story to tell about Magnolias:

I had just finished my latest Magnolia masterpiece, laboriously colored (I'm not very good), and extensively layered. My 5yods came over to admire it, and after looking at it for just a second he said, "Hand me a marker." I KNEW he planned to draw in a mouth, of course! (I didn't let him!)

Thanks - I recently bought an issue of Magnolia Ink magazine just so I could see some examples of how to color the stamps. Helped me quite a bit.

I love your image. I don't think they have mouths. I think though the dot works there as it gives her a certain expression. It is cute...

One and only one time I sent a magnolia card out to my mom. She loved it. While talking to her about an up coming visit, I said I was bringing some stamped images to color during down time. It was winter time visit. She asked me to bring some supplies to make a mouth for the little girl card I made her.lol

Needless to say I do not send magnolia cards to non stamping friends or family. They just don't understand the mouth thing. To tell the truth I don't get the mouth thing, but they sure are cute!

Tilda is an angel, she speaks with her heart, no need for a mouth or so the story goes.
