My friend was telling me last week about how her daughter (who was born the day before Thanksgiving) doesn't like to see Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. She says don't skip Thanksgiving (and therefore her birthday, right?).
So I got the idea to make her a turkey card for her birthday. Her favorite color is purple, but I needed an extra push to get this card started. So I let this package inspire me.
I grabbed some purple paper and a found a stamp that kind of mimicked the pattern on the box and embossed it in gold. Then I grounded the turkey with a strip of purple ribbon like you see sticking out of the top of the box.

Your leaf stamps mimic your inspired piece really well! I Love the gold and deep purple together (purple is my fav color too)! Cute turkey holding up the birthday sign~
