So long as the border is distinct in the end, can any tools be used to create it in Basic? Shapes, brushes, etc?

rules say:

YOU MAY: add a border to the outside edge of your entry. Your border must be distinct and clearly recognizable as a border.

YOU MAY NOT
use any selection tool, including but not limited to the marquee, lasso, layer masks, quick masks, or any similar tool to select a portion of your image for any reason other than cropping or creating a border.
use ANY editing tool to create new image area, objects or features (such as vignettes, lens flare or motion) that didn’t already exist in your original capture.
add graphics, clip art, computer-rendered images or parts of other photographs to your entry or its border during editing.

Would these tools constitute adding "graphics, clip art, computer-rendered images or parts of other photographs to your entry or its border during editing."

Play it safe... if you're going to add a border, just make it a solid line around it. If you use a brush, etc., you're definitely setting yourself up for the possibility of a DQ.
