You can make a slightly larger brown arrow with the :after psudo-element, and position it behind the smaller green arrow (made with :before), and down 2px to create a border effect.
here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rhGCb/
And the css:
.bubble {
border:2px solid #493A34;
height: 30px;
width: 574px;
background-color: #9FC175;
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, hsla(0,0%,100%,.5), hsla(0,0%,100%,0));
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, hsla(0,0%,100%,.5), hsla(0,0%,100%,0));
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, hsla(0,0%,100%,.5), hsla(0,0%,100%,0));
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, hsla(0,0%,100%,.5), hsla(0,0%,100%,0));
background-image: linear-gradient(top, hsla(0,0%,100%,.5), hsla(0,0%,100%,0));
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px hsla(0,0%,100%,.5),3px 3px 0 hsla(0,0%,0%,.1);
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px hsla(0,0%,100%,.5);
position: absolute;
}
.bubble:before {
border-bottom: 25px solid transparent;
border-right: 25px solid #493A34;
bottom: -27px;
content: '';
position: absolute;
right: 23px;
}
.bubble:after {
border-bottom: 25px solid transparent;
border-right: 25px solid #9FC175;
bottom: -23px;
content: '';
position: absolute;
right: 25px;
}

A bit of a trick, but you can add a box-shadow
that behaves as a border (meaning, blur
is set to 0
):
.speech-bubble{
/* ... */
/* 2px = border-width #333 = border-color */
-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 0 2px #333;
box-shadow:0 0 0 2px #333;
}
