I'm using a slightly complex title page for a book right now. I'm customizing the book.titlepage.recto template and adding FO elements as needed.
It sounds like you're already customizing article.titlepage.recto to add your page break. Can you add more FO to get the decoration you need? Here's what I'm doing to the book titlepage. I was just playing around with FO blocks and attributes until it looked right. I used http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/xslfo_reference.asp and a few other FO references that I found. <xsl:template name="book.titlepage.recto"> <xsl:element name="fo:block"> <xsl:attribute name="margin-top">.5in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:element name ="fo:external-graphic"> <xsl:attribute name="content-height">1in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:text>url(../mylogo.svg)</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> <xsl:element name="fo:block"> <xsl:attribute name="background-image">url(../mygraphic.png)</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before">2.25in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="margin-right">-1in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="padding">10pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="color">white</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="text-align">left</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-size">20pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-family">DINComp</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">600</xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="//d:book/d:info/d:title" /> <!-- <xsl:call-template name="stock.docbook.book.titlepage" /> --> <xsl:element name="fo:block"> <xsl:attribute name="space-before">4.1in</xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> Good luck!
