Vanuatu

This double page was inspired by the Mystery Bag challenge at Soul Scrappers - featuring a clothesline with at least 4 items. I (mostly) used papers from DCWV Watercolour collection, which I bought especially for my cruise album layouts. The smaller offcuts were perfect for making my own clothing embellishments. Also happy to stash-bust those little spiral paper clips!
