Step 2 Make the same shape but a little smaller in white on a new layer and cut it leaving only the top half, then select the Gradient Tool and switch it to the Linear Gradient and the transparency mode (Alpha Channel) to 0. Now right click near the bottom of the shape and drag it towards the top like in the picture, you can repeat this action a couple times until your happy with the result.
