    sorry im just a little confused...does your friend want recycled card or is it just a brown/gold/bronze coloured card that she wants.....

    hobbycraft have a great selection of coloured cards and im sure they have something that would match colourwise....otherwise as the previous poster said there is plenty of recycled card on ebay.

    I used this company craftcreations.com/ i was very impressed with the quality, i went with the expensive options (pocketfold, heavy weight etc)
    a large range of colours and designs
    I was surprised that the ones i ordered were pearly i was anticipating plain blank cards... cant say it will be the same for all but the prices and quality i couldnt complain!

    Thanks for your help everyone. No she doesn't want recycled card as that's a dark brown, the one in the pic looks a gold shiny colour.

    its probably going to be very difficult finding a match to the card without actually seeing it...could you contact the website to see if they could send a sample of the colouring and then you would have something to compare with others in the flesh....

    The best places to try might be local stationers or even printers as they would have a greater selection of the card possibly with a shiny finish to it.....

    Otherwise you could google various colour options such as copper /pewter /gold/coffee/ latte /pale gold ....although the possibilities are really endless...

    even possibly a caramel colour like this...

    or the same seller has one called gold leaf....
