The Challenge
Curling is a team game played on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice. Teams take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones down the ice towards to target (called the house). Two sweepers with brooms accompany each rock and use timing equipment and their best judgment, along with direction from their teammates, to help direct the stones to their resting place. The complex nature of stone placement and shot selection has led some to refer to curling as “chess on ice.”
In honor of this Olympic event, your challenge is to create a card using the rolling marble technique.
*If you don't have marbles, try using some dry beans or garden stones or anything round...maybe some dew drops will work?*
Or you can try the polished stone technique.

Your trees look so snowy and serene against that background. Wonderful job on the challenge.
