I would use lace presses for this, but assuming you don't have any. Go to the fabric store and buy a piece or two of lace (plastic lace dollies will work well too, and can be gotten at most $ stores) Just roll over the lace on top of a piece of fondant for the lace look. Or if you are using crusting buttercream lay the lace over the crusted buttercream and smooth with your hand.
There's a tutorial here that might help...

I took a piece of lace that I bought and laid it over my fondant covered cake and carefully frosted the lace. (it's quite tricky to keep the lace in place while you frost it, but with a patient hand it can be done) After I was done frosting the lace, I gently picked it up off the cake. It left the lace imprint on the cake. (I used black icing on white fondant) It turned out beautiful. Perhaps this will work for you. Good luck!!

Speaking of plastic lace, where is the best place to find that? Michael's doesn't carry it and I haven't found any at the dollar store.
Hmmm, could she be speaking of shelf liner? I haven't thought of using the texture to make impressions.
i am referring to the shelf liner. i just laid it over the fondant and spread buttercream over the liner, then scrape as much of the buttercream off as possible without removing the liner, then once the buttercream drys a little peel the liner off.
