It is recommended that you experiment with these settings, as there is not just one way to do anything in PhotoShop, and you may get better results for your particular composition by tweaking. We also add the following styles:

Now we want to goto the Paths Window (Window > Paths), and choose the Brush tool. Choose a size that you want the border thickness to be, then right-click the Path we just created (in the Paths Window) and choose Stroke Path. You can try both the Simulate Pressure checked and unchecked, see which you prefer. This is with Simulate Pressure checked:
