Well the front image looks like either threshold or one of the filters (possibly lith) the background image just looks something similar with a lowered opacity, and then the green background is a gradient.

heres a quick one I just made (it's a bit rough) I used threshold on my son, the same image at 15% opacity over a gradient background, and I think the layer blend mode was liner light (scroll through them till you find the right one) it'll give you the idea how it done, I didn't bother with the pink bit but thats the same idea with the black changed to pink.
Yous just has a few more layers at different colours and opacitys Wayne

waynes idea looks to work great, but if you want the super-smooth edges like in your example, you may want to use the cut-out filter after that.
