Or construct it from scratch (there are many ways to get there) :

Your image in the background + 2 circles and 1 star

fill the inner circle and the star with black (and no stroke)

cut both and

paste in place in the opacity mask of the outer circle (which I filled with blue)

Depending on the desired result, you can use an artbrush, for example. Or you can use pathfinder operations with two circles and a star.

You can change the amount of dashes by varying the Dash, Gap and Weight of the stroke.

I cannot replicate the scratches that you mentioned, is it a single path?
