After you acheive your desired effect you can make it look better by going to filter>stylize>find edges , or filter>stylize>glowing edges , both of these give a neat effect, you can now also hit "crtl U" and pick whatever color you would like, after this create another NEW LAYER 6. now adding a border, simply select your rectangular marquee tool (the dotted line rectangle at the top left) and select a space near the edges, then go to select>inverse, and fill with your desired color 7. In order to make all of this one layer you can left click on all of the other layers where i have circled then hit "crtl E" this will make all of this one layer and you will be done.
