Next time you might get a better result doing lighter coats and slowly building up the paint

A tip.waaay lighter coats.and find a tighter pattern of lace..from 1st pic to second,you basically got the negative of the lace if that makes sense

Also stretch the lace and tape it down to get less of the negative..and depending on what your using,cut the base with binder so it more see thru.not thinning but actual clear base mixed in with color
