Yes, spraying directly through the lace. I tried it without a base color and the results were poor. The background color is what actually becomes the lace because the stencil is a positive (where one would want a negative).
The best result I've ever seen was with a white background topped with a flesh color. That make the paint look very much like white lace and only white lace. I may play a bit and see if I can mix something that's close enough to achieve that effect myself.
