How to raise up (out) a bathroom backsplash?

I just put in a new bathroom vanity… and there is a 3/8″ gap between the vanity top and the wall.

I bought the back splash I like and want to use… but its only about 1/8″ thick, so there would still be a gap between the back splash and the top of the vanity.

Whats the best way to lift a back splash out away from the wall? I was thinking maybe mounting a piece of water-resistant plywood or cement-board to the wall, then installing the backsplash against that. Thoughts?

Thanks!
