Lost my Brazilian Entrance Form

I´ve managed to lose my Brazilian tourist immigration card (Cartao de Entrada, i think). It´s two white forms stapled together, which was stamped along with my passport when i entered Brazil at Foz de Iguassu border. What should I expect when I fly out of Rio de Janeiro intenational airport next week? What can I do to sort this problem out?
I've had this happen before in other countries (although not in Brazil). Usually you can just fill a new one one out at the passport control at the airport, no big deal. YMMV, but in my personal experience it hasn't been a problem.

I once lost that very form in Brazil. I just feigned ignorance and the guy waved me through, obviously tired of another know-nothing American.
Don't know if I'd recommend this tactic, but it did work, and, yeah, I don't think this is an uncommon occurrence.

This has happened to several of our visitors. It's never been a problem. Just tell them you lost it. (Usually our visitors are leaving through São Paulo but Rio shouldn't be any different.)
