First step to create a HTML for the loader.

For the sample image I am creating the html, then I will apply CSS for animation.

HTML CODE

<div class="timeline-wrapper">
<div class="timeline-item">
<div class="animated-background">
<div class="background-masker header-top"> </div>
<div class="background-masker header-left"> </div>
<div class="background-masker header-right"> </div>
<div class="background-masker header-bottom"> </div>
<div class="background-masker subheader-left"> </div>
<div class="background-masker subheader-right"> </div>
<div class="background-masker subheader-bottom"> </div>
<div class="background-masker content-top"> </div>
<div class="background-masker content-first-end"> </div>
<div class="background-masker content-second-line"> </div>
<div class="background-masker content-second-end"> </div>
<div class="background-masker content-third-line"> </div>
<div class="background-masker content-third-end"> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

To achieve the animation here is the css code.
