For the background color I will choose white, then create another layer right above the background layer, and fill it with black

You can download a great set of Grunge border brushes from Free Photoshop Brushes.

I will choose a orange color #f26826, and with the Brush Tool, I will add the brush like in the following image.

Now we have to rotate the brush. the easy way is to flip the brush. After I will change the brush angle, I will choose another color #09b0f0.
