Where to put the message?????

I made an A2 card I saw on You Tube using a nestie and then gluing thin strips of paper cross the shape to form a lattice. Since a big portion of the front of the card is cut out, you can see the inside of the card through the opening on the front. Where can I put the verse or message? There is no room left. Your ideas would be appreciated. Thank you

Could you use your cut out lattice piece as a "false front"? Basically just attached it using dimensionals or foam tape to a card base so that what you see through the holes is the colour of the card base (or even a stamped design if that would work - something like looking at a garden through a screen). Then your message would just go inside as normal and not show through.

HTH!

Joanne's suggestion is a good one. I looked at the lattice cards on youtube, and there were also suggestions to make a separate folded insert for the card and stamp the sentiment on it.

Another lattice card had a small sentiment attached to the front of the card, like "Thinking of You", and then you just sign your name inside at the bottom, so it does not show through the lattice.
