A Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge - "Non Traditional Colours"

Good Morning fellow Crafters, well its not raining at the moment but the clouds are on their way back so I guess we shall have some presently. My hubby and I are feeling rather tired this morning as our dog Missy was up every 2 hours with a tummy problems (I wont go into details) and needed to go outside, poor little girl she really did look sorry for herself this morning. She unfortunately does have a sensitive stomach and it causes no end of problems and this is probably a bug shes picked up with her sniffing in places she shouldnt. Ive rung the Vet (even on a Sunday) and shes suggested just giving her a Kaolin paste and no food so keep your fingers crossed it works as we certainly need a good night sleep tonight.
Todays card has been created with the Knitted Heart image from Funky Kits and as the Challenge is all about non traditional colours for a Christmas card I had to put my thinking cap on and this is what I came up with, I coloured her with my copics then cut her out with the new Labels 34 from Nestabilities and I have used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment was stamped onto a banner and cut out and another for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of purple card and the papers are from Nitwits "Snow Princess" digi paper set, the first a purple paper with white stars on and the second is a floral one which I have cut a strip and I have used a snowflake border punch from Martha Stewart. The third a green strip one.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and stuck three different sized pearls down the side in the two alternative corners and the sentiment across the bottom.
