Finished Front Cover of my Journal

Hello everyone here is my finished front cover for my Lifes Questions Journal that I did. I used antique music sheet paper for my flowers and Distress Ink and I love how they have turned out. I also tore a piece and Mod Podged it onto the cover. I have used Distress ink on the letters and then covered them in Glossy Accents. I stamped the background with the SU French Flair background stamp which has now retired and it is a real shame lol. The only thing I could kick myself for is not distressing the edges of the music sheet that I laid onto the cover. . .DOH!!! And I should have run gold acrylic around the edges of the cover what do you think?

Let me know what you think about the cover and now I am starting to work on the first question.
In the meantime. . . .
Walk about your day with absolute beauty.
