NOTE : I've gone through the steps a couple of times myself and  found no problems with achieving this effect by following the steps. I've gotten a reply from a friend who had trouble achieving this effect though. If that happens to you, do email me , or better yet, to save you all that trouble, why don't you visit www.designsbymark.com or www.andyart.com where you'll most likely find almost similar but better documented tips.  I assume  some understanding about stuff like layers and channels and the available filters. Some filters may not be available in certain versions of PhotoShop.  TIP: To familiarise yourself layers,channels and paths, check out the Adobe PDF tutorials that came with PhotoShop or the websites I listed above.

Have fun with PhotoShop mates!
