I have to say this was an amazing Challenge, everyone did an amazing job with their techniques and originality, the way some transformed their bangles was just beyond creative. I had such a hard time choosing 3, because I have 4. I will start with my first choice #1, then #4, and #6 but I think #5 with the matching card should be included. I left comments to those who had that option. great job everyone deserves to win.

Love all the unique ideas. I imagine it would have been a delight to let the imagination run free with the surprise box. Congrats to all the artists who made these creations.
