Opacity effect for the backcover

The following is a tcolorbox solution which allows to set the required margins directly. I marked the options inside the code:

\documentclass[10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[skins]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}%
\begin{tcolorbox}[
  enhanced,size=minimal,sharp corners,
  text fill,            % only, if \vfill is to be used
  width       = 210mm,  % paper width
  height      = 297mm,  % paper height
  leftrule    = 20mm,   % outer margin
  rightrule   = 20mm,   % outer margin
  toprule     = 25mm,   % outer margin
  bottomrule  = 25mm,   % outer margin
  left        = 15mm,   % inner margin
  right       = 15mm,   % inner margin
  top         = 20mm,   % inner margin
  bottom      = 20mm,   % inner margin
  frame style = {fill overzoom image=goldshade.png},  % background image
  opacityback = 0.5,    % transparency
  colback     = cyan!22,
]

Update:

The original question used the standalone class. With some small modifications, you can get the same thing as page using a class like article.

The following example also contains

frame style = {fill plain image*={scale=3}{goldshade.png}}

to show the inclusion of a background image with arbitraty scaling as the OP asked for in comments.

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[skins,breakable]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{mathrsfs,lipsum}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-20]

\begin{tcolorbox}[
  enhanced,size=minimal,sharp corners,
  spread,
  phantom=\thispagestyle{empty},
  text fill,            % only, if \vfill is to be used
  leftrule    = 20mm,   % outer margin
  rightrule   = 20mm,   % outer margin
  toprule     = 25mm,   % outer margin
  bottomrule  = 25mm,   % outer margin
  left        = 15mm,   % inner margin
  right       = 15mm,   % inner margin
  top         = 20mm,   % inner margin
  bottom      = 20mm,   % inner margin
  frame style = {fill plain image*={scale=3}{goldshade.png}},  % background image
  opacityback = 0.5,    % transparency
  colback     = cyan!22,
]

You can apply an opacity= to the text:

Very similar to Peter Grill's nice answer, just with fill opacity. The tcolorbox will inherit the fill opacity of the node.

\documentclass[10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgf,tikz}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[rotate=90] {\includegraphics[scale=1.5]{example-image-a}};
\node[text width=12cm,align=left,fill opacity=0.7] {\noindent\fcolorbox{black}{cyan!22}{%
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr1.00733\textwidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep\relax}

\vspace*{4cm}
