Glad to help. This is an example of my typical work flow when framing.

Duplicate>flatten
Increase canvas size>sample from photo to get color
Select canvas with wand and copy to it's own layer
Select again and add sandstone texture>deselect.
Add bevel layer style and click fx>add stroke and use color picker to click in picture>decrease bevel to 1 px.
Flatten
Repeat process for frame choosing smaller canvas increase and different bevel with no stroke.
For this example I sampled the sky near the horizon for the mat and the blue flowers for the stroke.
For the frame I sampled the coneheads. Hope this gives you some ideas. Can really get creative once got the basics down.
