Thankyou! I started with a different colour, so at the end I fiddled around a bit with saturation, brightness etc.
here's a sample:

I've been wanting to grundge-ify for ages - thank you for posting this tut. =D Can't wait for more!

thank you so much for including this:
with the selection still active press ctrl+t to switch into the transformation mode and stretch everything to top and bottom until you only have tiny vertical lines.
I think in an older tutorial you did once, you said to do that stretching bit thing, and it drove me insane trying to work out how to do it!! I didn't know about hte ctrl+t bit. LOL!! Thank you thank you!!!
On another note, I got confused a bit with this:
step 03
On a new layer, colors #D8D0BD (our starting color) and #FFFFFF (white),
Do you mean to use both those colours on the one layer? One of top of each other? Or half and half? Or is it a gradient?

hee, I have such a love for the pixel stretching, I'm using this technique so much, that I forget that not everyone is used to it, so I keep forgetting to explain the details :)

the Clouds filter works with your foreground and background colors, therefore you have to choose them, before you're using this filter. if you choose b/w, for example your clouds will be b/w, too.

Ooooooooooohhhh i get it!!!! LOL. I was filling the layer with one colour, and then putting hte other on top of it, and then trying to use the cloud filter.

*headdesk*

Thanks for telling me!!! I appreciate it.
