RED GOLD BRAD CHALLENGE by Marijo

Here is a gorgeous card for our Red, gold and brad challenge! I LOVE this sent over by Marijo at Scraptastic Grammy. This is what she had to say "Here is my entry for the Red/Gold/Brads challenge. I used the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art for the heart. Stamp is from Hero Arts and the punches (for the words) are from Stampin Up. The red paper is Bazzill and I can't for the life of me remember where I got the hammered gold paper (behind the heart). The 3 gold brads are from Joanns. Hope you like it because I really had fun with this challenge"
