It's really just an application of Saderan – a tutorial, nothing more. So, it's nothing you couldn't do, either.

You can download the PSD file here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4294562/tutorial.psd

And, TBH, I've switched to GIMP exclusively, since PS' learning curve is a tad too steep. I suggest getting the Layers Effect plugin for GIMP, though.

Anyway, enjoy.
