I love the look for borders/frames like in this picture. It is soft - not a hard line. I would really appreciate any help on how to create this effect.

It's used in email advertising a lot. Thank you very much!

The way i do it it's using shapes and selections, is not that difficult actually

just fill selections or shapes whit solid color or a gradient, and contract the selection and do the same whit another color and so on, later apply some layer styles to add effects to it, also changing opacity if necessary

you ca use the pen tool also if customized shapes is needed

"you can create buttons, User Input cells, layouts, etc. Using this technique is just matter of imagination"

here's an example

also PSD file as resource.
