Fab card Claire, that's such a great image for a man's card. I hate doing commissioned cards too, even when I know the people they're actually for!
Brilliant card for a man,

Hi Claire! I'm your new follower! Loving your work and the whole blog is so cute!!! I love pink! :-)
I wanna also tell you that I'm having a Candy on my blog, and as I'm new with just few followers, it would mean so much if you could participate! Oh, and I see that you're getting married! WOW! Congratulations and lots of hugs and love from Rome! xxx Lucia
Your friend will be thrilled with this Claire :) Really stylish for a male card, monochrome always hits the right note and such a great image.
I popped over to keep an eye on your xmas card tally too - you have done so well to make 61!! I think I have managed about 12, so everyone else will have to make do and get a card made from a quickie kit! :D
hugs

Great man card; the pop of blue water looks terrific! Thanks for playing along with us at Creative Card Crew!
I know how you feel about comissions, it's always nerve wracking isn't it? Fortunately out of all the ones I've done I've only ever had one not liked!! Was asked for a trendy teen card for Christmas but then she didn't like it, too modern lol! Anyway I came over to admire your card, it's fab so I'm not surprised it was well liked! Lovely to have you playing at Sweet Stampin' too x
