I can't believe I'd never tried this tutorial before, I'll definitely be doing it again. I have to confess that regular easel cards don't really do it for me, but I had a ball making this and loved how it turned out. Shame I couldn't share it with DH, in case I keep it for him!
Tutorial is here: Triple Easel Card, and I'm looking forward to trying it with different shapes.
I used a mixture of papers - I think that from the back it's Echo Park, Memory Box and MME, and then I used LOTV Antebllum for the mat layers, base and the flamingo.
Palm tree trunk is cut from cork, the little starfish stopper is an IO die (Mini Shells). The other dies are all from Top Dog, I was lucky to snag them in their closing-down sale.
Have fun playing along.

Love the cork used on the palm tree, never seen a flamingo die cut before. I like the same ovals being used for the top tier as well as the base. The star holding up the card is the perfect finishing touch.
