Step 1: Add a new oval and give it a color fill of your choice

Step 2: Change the fill mode to “Angular” and distribute the stops like this:

Step 3: Duplicate and mirror the ovals as shown below, with the “light stroke” pointing inward

Step 4: Duplicate the 4 ovals and rotate them as shown below

Step 5: Now it’s time to re-order the layers so we get a layered effect!

Step 6: Select all ovals, frame the selection and reduce the frame height by 50% (make sure to toggle “clip content”)

Step 7: Now duplicate and mirror your frame and add a blurred oval at the center to get rid of the outlines

Step 8: To add some detail, select 5 ovals at the top and apply a light inner shadow

Step 9: As a last step, just apply some drop shadow to the group to add some depth!

All set!
