We painted white clouds on textured wallpaper using regular wall paint. Unfortunately, the edges turned out very thick (pronounced).
Now we want to repaint the wallpaper. How can I remove the "thick" layers of paint from the cloud edges beforehand?
Thanks for any tips!

I’m definitely not going to redo a wall just because of 4 clouds, each about the size of two hands...
According to the hardware store, I should try sanding it down... we’ll see...
