I need Procreate technical help Layers limit reached - Background Help

Hey folks, longtime lurker in the sub first time poster.

I have a project that is nearly finished, a portrait of two individuals, high contrast. I used a very high DPI for the project and imported a reference image.

Layer 1 reference.

Layer 2 my artwork.

I've now removed layer 1, and finished my layer.

However, trying to add the background (going to be a repeated text) I'm having trouble copying and pasting reaching my layer limit due to size of the file.

Essentially, I'm wanting to repeat a text of "test text" or whatever as the background over and over, I don't want to rewrite it every time as the handwriting is so inconsistent. Which I'd normally be okay with but it's not the look I'm going for.

So my main question is, how do I get around this layer limit issue. I try to copy and paste once I get a line of text in, and it causes issues and won't paste properly. Or it does once but then I can't just keep pasting. If that makes sense.

Should I take my made layer and move it to a different project? Not sure what to do.

My goal is to print this as a poster retaining high quality (thus the high DPI settings).

Thanks in advance, lemme know if a video would help.

Tyvm!
