Light-blocking articles with spacer functional composition

A foamed, opacifying element comprising:

• a substrate having a first opposing surface and a second opposing surface;
• a foamed opacifying layer disposed on the first opposing surface of the substrate, and
• a functional composition that is non-foamed and is disposed over the foamed opacifying layer, the non-foamed functional composition forming a non-foamed functional layer that is the outermost layer in the foamed, opacifying element, and comprising (i) glass particles;
• wherein the foamed opacifying layer comprises:
• (a) at least 0.1 weight % and up to and including 40 weight % of porous particles, each porous particle comprising a continuous polymeric phase and discrete pores dispersed within the continuous polymeric phase, the porous particles having a mode particle size of at least 2 μm and up to and including 50 μm;
• (b′) at least 10 weight % and up to and including 80 weight % of a matrix material that is derived from a (b) binder material having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than 25° C.;
• (c) at least 0.0001 weight % and up to and including 50 weight % of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of dispersants, foaming agents, foam stabilizing agents, plasticizers, flame retardants, optical brighteners, thickeners, biocides, tinting colorants, metal particles, and inert inorganic or organic fillers;
• (d) less than 5 weight % of water;
• and
• (e) at least 0.002 weight % of an opacifying colorant different from all of the one or more additives of (c), which opacifying colorant absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of at least 380 nm and up to and including 800 nm,
• all amounts being based on the total weight of the foamed opacifying layer.
