For my background texture I inked a texturz plate with black ink and then embossed through my Big Shot. I love that effect, especially with this texturz plate for a guy!
This week's Stampin Royalty challenge was to add texture. I figure I can probably enter almost every card I make, but I'll enter this one for their challenge... http://stampinroyalty.blogspot.com/

Wow - you are getting a huge jump on Father's Day cards - what a good planner you must be (I am the one doing the card the day of Father's Day). This does have some great texture - I still haven't tried inking the texture plate yet, but I need to. Love the cycle image - very cool!
