Here are a few things I noticed.
The cloud shapes all have a subtle gradient to make them look as if they have depth.
It looks like their strokes also have a gradient to make them look beveled.
Most of the apparent depth comes from the use of drop shadows.
To add a gradient to the stroke:
Use Object > Expand > Stroke (do not expand the fill),
Ungroup the stroke from the fill and then you can add a gradient.
Regroup the shape and the stroke
Then add a drop shadow using Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow.
Changing the x and y coordinates and the blur of the shadow will change how much apparent depth the effect creates.
