border: 15px solid transparent;
padding: 20px;
width: 300px;
border-image-source: url(/css/images/border.png);
border-image-slice: 30;
border-image-repeat: round;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="image-border">
<p>This element has a custom image border created using border-image-source property.</p>
