[Tex/LaTex] Multiple border around page

framedmargins

I was thinking about giving a finishing touch to my resume by adding a border to the document in black color. I tried using \fancybox but not impressed with the output.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[a4paper,vmargin={20mm,20mm},hmargin={20mm,20mm}, includehead,%
 includefoot]{geometry}
 \usepackage{fancybox}

\begin{document}

\fancypage{\setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}\fbox}{}

Document text goes here...

\end{document}

The output that I am trying to get is something similar like this.

How do I get multiple recessed rectangle covering the whole page ?

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=1in,heightrounded]{geometry}

\usepackage{tikz}

\usetikzlibrary{calc}

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]
    \draw [line width=1pt,rounded corners=7pt,
        ]
        ($ (current page.north west) + (1cm,-1cm) $)
        rectangle
        ($ (current page.south east) + (-1cm,1cm) $);
        \draw [xshift=4mm,dashed,line width=1pt,rounded corners=7pt]
        ($ (current page.north west) + (.5cm,-.5cm) $)
        rectangle
        ($ (current page.south east) + (-.5cm,.5cm) $);
    \draw [line width=1pt,rounded corners=7pt]
