Swap-tastic!!

I have 100 swaps and wanted to try another 3D item, so here is my rendition of a Sunflower!  What do you think?  These could be Back to School gifts, Teacher gifts, Bunco Pencils, or just a cute and pretty for a Friend gift!  So easy to make and I can even imagine a Baby Rattle made very similar, but with 2 treat cups back to back.  I will work on that after Convention.

The hardest part was sorting the Reese's Pieces for only brown ones!  I filled the Treat tube with a pencil and left it open on the top.  I cut 2 flowers from Crushed Curry card stock with the Floral Frames framelit.  Embossed one with the Square Lattice embossing folder, but first punch a hole in the middle with the 1 3/4 Circle punch.. 
The Treat tube was scotch taped to the back flower.  I filled the Treat cup with candy and punched a 1 3/4 circle of Early Expresso card stock.  Take the backing off the sticky part of the treat cup and lay down the Expresso circle.  I used 2 small pieces of scotch tape to hold the circle in place. It is pretty much the same size as the inner ring of the treat cup. 
Add some half dimensionals to the back of the embossed sunflower, keeping them close to the center.  I used 3, offset your top flower and press down over the treat cup. I then tied a snip of Pear Pizazz taffeta ribbon and Linen thread around the pencil.  I hope Convention swappers like my 3D!
