I am using an envelope flap for my recycled piece. I had this lovely glittery envelope from a card I received and I just couldn't pass up using part of it for the recycle challenge on F4A today. I love the pattern under the gold dots and all I had to do was cut a sentiment panel and mat. I used also a gold cord and tassel from another card. Unfortunately the tassel came apart when I was shortening the cord. So I just tied the pieces back into the cord and used it that way. (That was hard enough - no way was I going to get those threads back into a tassel.)

This card is lovely, and just referring to the brown tones as chocolate makes it luscious. I love your recycled piece from the envelope, and the sentiment tag is so pretty. OK, I have a confession to make: after I read the description of your hassle with the tassel, I LOL and went back to look again at the threads all askew and I thought to myself, "been there, done that!" I love the cord as is!
