how to use the slide show of Skylark in showcase?

Welcome … this forum is more suited for WordPress selfhosted not WordPress.com sites.

However … reading the WordPress.com theme documents it says

The Showcase page template offers a featured slider for sticky posts. If you’d like a post to appear in the slider, mark it as sticky and assign it a featured image that’s at least 500 pixels wide.

So please Add a new post and mark it as sticky and add an image. If you’re still stuck, try the WordPress.com forums.
