I could make the flowers by looking at another flower...but hearts? Or butterflies? Oh...crocheted butterflies on a scrapbook page?? I found this great blog that covers it all!
Here's the butterfly to get you started:

Dyeing Crocheted Flowers
Dyeing crocheted flowers is easier than you may think! Whether you purchase the crocheted flowers or crochet them yourself, this tutorial will work for you.
Start with white crocheted flowers. These I crocheted myself:
Next you’ll need ink refills (re-inkers). Mine are from Stampin’ Up but any will work. I used 1/2 cup of water and 1/8 teaspoon of dye (re-inker).
Submerse the crocheted flower into the dye solution. The longer you let it sit, the darker the color will become.
Take the flower out of solution, and air dry. If you don’t like the darker color along the edge of the flower, tape the edges. Then dip and dry with the tape on. Now you can create custom flowers for any scrapbook page. Enjoy!
