Removing paint from clothes

[mustloveerica]

Hi, crafty ladies!

I picked up the worlds cutest outfits for my twins at a consignment sale. They are denim overalls and tshirts. They were never worn or washed and still have the tags on them and only cost me 25 cents each, however, someone had painted names on them with puffy paint. I'm hoping I can remove the paint without damaging the clothes. If not I'll probably sew on a patch or something to cover them up but I'd rather just remove it. Any ideas how to safely remove puffy paint from denim? I'll post a picture when I get home from work if that would help explain the situation.

I would just pick it off with my nails, maybe use a butter knife to help peel an edge and try to get it off all in one piece if possible.

Unfortunately it's not all raised. I picked off the raised paint as best I could but there's still a good layer that was more smudged on than raised.
