Before we get started with this challenge, I am very pleased to announce that @vickid has joined the team of Creative Effects Challenge hosts! Her first Creative Effects Challenge will be on March 4, 2023. I am quite looking forward to seeing what Vicki will be sharing with us!
For this Creative Effects Challenge I used a video tutorial on how to create a realistic wood frame and matte for your picture: Realistic Wood Frame effect. It was created by the always entertaining Davrodigital. While tutorials for similar results appear on our forum elsewhere, this one uses subtle effects to make it especially realistic, as well as useful techniques and tips that I appreciated learning (creating the wood texture from first principals, mitering the frame sides, applying an adjustment layer to adjust just one layer by making it a clipping mask, various keyboard shortcuts, etc). Here is my result:

I look forward to seeing your creations!
