The latest release of Evernote includes very straightforward AppleScript support. Hopefully someone will build an Evernote plug-in for Quicksilver, but in the meantime here is a script for clipping text directly from Quicksilver into Evernote:
Create the script in ScriptEditor, and install it by placing it in ~/Library » Application Support » Quicksilver » Actions, then restarting Quicksilver. (Configuration instructions are in the top of the script.)
To use this script, when you have text in your first Quicksilver pane, select Clip to Evernote (or whatever you call this script if you change the name). The text format is as follows -- you must have a title or note (or both), but everything else is optional.

title:your note here nb:notebook tags:space-separated tags here
The only thing that matters is that any specified notebook or tags must come after title and note. Here are a few examples:
- this is a note with no title or anything -- creates note with your default title, notebook, tags (if specified), otherwise just goes straight into Evernote as is.
- todo:buy batteries -- creates note with title todo and note buy batteries.
- remember to buy batteries: tags:todo household -- creates note with title remember to buy batteries and tags todo and household.
- great idea for meeting: tell everyone to put 20% of salary in mattress nb:Work tags:meeting finance meltdown -- creates note tell everyone to put 20% of salary in mattress with title great idea for meeting in notebook Work with tags meeting, finance, and meltdown.
