1) Open up your signature

2) Make a new layer

3) Place it above all other layers and rename it "border"

4) go to select - All http://i43.tinypic.com/wsogmp.jpg

5) Choose foreground colour as black

6) Go to Edit - Stroke Selection http://i42.tinypic.com/2lbj3v6.jpg

7) Choose stroke width 10 px and click OK http://i44.tinypic.com/jj8m4w.jpg

Now it should look like http://i41.tinypic.com/33ote9k.jpg

8) Change the foreground colour to white

9) Go to Edit - Stroke selection

10) This time, choose 8 px then select ok

It should look something like this http://i41.tinypic.com/sav0uu.jpg

11) Now choose black as foreground colour again

12) Go to Edit - Stroke Selection

13) Now select 6 px

It should look like http://i40.tinypic.com/54jbll.jpg

14) Final step. Go to Mode - Overlay http://i39.tinypic.com/24msz85.jpg

The final product will look similar to http://i44.tinypic.com/2mozbdh.png

If you didn't like it then mess around with the mode setting (14th step) e.g dodge , difference and others.
