Description: The board is covered in black acrylic, over top of which is a mixture of white acrylic and dish soap. The acrylic/dish soap mixture is poured from the top of the board down to the bottom, several areas of the canvas is thicker than others. At the top edge of the canvas is a wooden cross wrapped in LED lights, the end of the lights is attached to a battery bank that's attached to the back side of the board. Attached at five different parts of the board are five glitter-covered Christmas ornaments.
